Pledge Campaign Weekend

Posted by Phil Pocknee424pc on

Time to turn promise into pledge, will you be there for Melanie on the 7th of May, join her believing in the bright future for Great Grimsby. Wee are going to head into key neighbourhoods where we need people's support.

This week Ed Miliband launched the Labour Party's Pledge Card:

HIGHER LIVING STANDARDS FOR WORKING FAMILIES

Freeze energy bills until 2017 and give the regulator the power to cut bills this winter, ban exploitative zero-hours contracts, raise the minimum wage to £8 and provide 25 hours free childcare a week.

A STRONG ECONOMIC FOUNDATION

Balance the books and cut the deficit every year while securing the future of the NHS. None of our manifesto commitments require additional borrowing.

AN NHS WITH THE TIME TO CARE

20,000 more nurses and 8,000 more GPs. We will join up services from home to hospital, guaranteeing GP appointments within 48 hours and cancer tests within one week.

CONTROLS ON IMMIGRATION

People who come here won’t be able to claim benefits for at least two years and we will introduce fair rules making it illegal for employers to undercut wages by exploiting workers.

A COUNTRY WHERE THE NEXT GENERATION CAN DO BETTER THAN THE LAST

Tuition fees reduced to £6,000, an apprenticeship for every school leaver who gets the basic grades, and smaller class sizes for 5, 6 & 7 year-olds.
